Yesterday our army of costume-clad amazons, all two of us, invaded a nice little local event at the Ehrman Mansion on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe. We go every year in '20s and '30s attire, confusing the event staff and generally making a spectacle. This year we were few, but we were saucy.
My adorable mother wore a 1920s bathing costume.
I wore the "just-in-time" Little Jersey Dress.
There were lots of mid-century British Roadsters to delight us, and take pictures next to, which had me scouring eBay later that evening, hoping to find one fully restored, in perfect running order, for a steal (yeah right!)

Historical Dog came along, too, and wasn't so sure at first...
...but then it was all okay, after chasing some chipmunks and rolling in the grass...
It was a lovely day, nice weather. We ate sandwiches while a trio involving an accordian played "La Vie en Rose."
The End.

ReplyDeleteCheers! <3
DeleteYou and your mom are adorable! ^_^
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSo cute, the two of you!
ReplyDeleteHow glorious! You both looked picture perfect! :)
ReplyDeleteThat jersey dress you made looks so adorable on you! The dress form doesn't do that dress justice at all- I almost didn't believe they were the same dress. Sarah
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's a weird dress, lol. I can't decide if I love it or hate it, but at least it's super comfortable!
DeleteSuper cute pictures, especially with the cars and dog. :)
ReplyDeleteBest,
Quinn
Thank you!
DeleteThis looks wonderful! I want to go to something like this!
ReplyDeleteThe dress turned out wonderfully! It looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteDear Lauren,
ReplyDeleteThat last photo taken overlooking the lake is especially wonderful. Hooray for spicing up the event!
Very best,
Natalie
Thank you! My mom took that photo - I will pass on your compliment :-)
DeleteWonderful pictures! You two look great! Seems like there are lots of 1920s events taking place this summer. I just went to one last weekend. I just love the classic cars, make me wish I had mine own to drive around. :)

Thank you! There are indeed lots of '20s events on this year, I'm sure to do with the Gatsby movie that came out. I adore the cars too (hence the overload of photos, lol) - you and me both, wishing we had our own :-)
DeleteYou guys look adorable! I love that your Mum wore a swimsuit all day?
ReplyDeleteWhy do you confuse the staff? Does no-one else dress up?
Thanks! She did indeed wear it all day. We confuse the staff/volunteers because they're all dressed in '20s - '30s attire, giving tours and whatnot, but none of them know us, so they think we're volunteers but aren't sure...
